An origin for short g-ray bursts unassociated with current star formation
S. D. Barthelmy, G. Chincarini, D. N. Burrows +28
Two short (<2 s) g-ray bursts (GRBs) have recently been localized and fading afterglow counterparts detected. The combination of these two results left unclear the nature of the ho…
Possible evidence for the ejection of a supermassive black hole from an ongoing merger of galaxies
Martin G. Haehnelt, Melvyn B. Davies, Martin J. Rees
Attempts of Magain et al (2005) to detect the host galaxy of the bright QSO HE0450--2958 have not been successful. We suggest that the supermassive black hole powering the QSO was…
The stars of the galactic center
Melvyn B. Davies, Andrew R. King
We consider the origin of the so-called S stars orbiting the supermassive black hole at the very center of the Galaxy. These are usually assumed to be massive main-sequence stars.…
Blue Stragglers as Stellar Collision Products: the Angular Momentum Question
Alison Sills, Tim Adams, Melvyn B. Davies
We investigate the structure and evolution of blue stragglers stars which were formed from direct stellar collisions between main sequence stars in globular clusters. In particular…
